The Art of Ancestor Hunting

$3.75

Stephen Daye Press, having derived its name from the first American printer and publisher, and having devoted the past five years to publishing books which critics have recognized as contributions to Americana, is especially glad to announce that this valuable book has been added to its list.

The Art of Ancestor Hunting, contains one hundred and thirty-five separate aspects of procedure. The subject is so thoroughly covered, both in text and forms, that this first book in the field will fulfil its purpose for a good many years to come. For the amateur genealogist, interested in preserving the records of his own family; for the person who is finding a pleasant pastime in ancestral research; for the author engaged in biographical or historical writing; and for the librarian who has hitherto been called upon to answer most of the questions for the people mentioned above, this book is indispensable. Dr. Myron T. Pritchard, whose reputation as a critic was founded on many years of association with literature, watched the development of this book with great interest. Just before his death he wrote the author as follows; "Once a man with genealogical leanings gets your book and follows its direction, his work is straight to a definite goal. It seems to me that it would not be possible for another writer to set forth the process as distinctly, clearly, directly as your book has done. And I am not speaking as a freshman in this matter. My long experience in criticizing books of all sorts bids me speak as I do."
